Description : Severe combined immunodeficiency refers to a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of disorders with defective cellular and humoral immune function. Patients with SCID present in infancy with recurrent, persistent infections by opportunistic organisms, including Candida albicans, Pneumocystis carinii, and cytomegalovirus, among many others. Laboratory analysis shows profound lymphopenia with diminished or absent immunoglobulins. The common characteristic of all types of SCID is absence of T cell-mediated cellular immunity due to a defect in T-cell development. Without treatment, patients usually die within the first year of life. The overall prevalence of all types of SCID is approximately 1 in 75,000 births (Fischer et al., 1997; Buckley, 2004).;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutations in the recombinase activating gene 2 (RAG2, 179616.0001); Caused by mutations in the recombinase activating gene 1 (RAG1, 179615.0001);

Laboratory abnormalities : Panhypogammaglobulinemia;

Prefixed ID : #601457;
